Liber Psalmorum

Psalms

1

In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem.

Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title.

In fine, ne disperde. Davide in titulo inscriptione.

2

Si vere utique justitiam loquimini, recta judicate, filii hominum.

If in very deed ye speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men.

Si vere utique iustitia loque, rectus iudica, filios de homines.

3

Etenim in corde iniquitates operamini; in terra injustitias manus vestræ concinnant.

For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth.

Etenim in corde iniquitates operor; in terra manus vestro concinna iniustitias.

4

Alienati sunt peccatores a vulva; erraverunt ab utero: locuti sunt falsa.

The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things.

Aliena es peccatores ab vulva; erra ab utero: loque es falso.

5

Furor illis secundum similitudinem serpentis, sicut aspidis surdæ et obturantis aures suas,

Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:

Furore ad illos secundo similitudine de serpente, sicut aspide de surda et obtura aures suo,

6

quæ non exaudiet vocem incantantium, et venefici incantantis sapienter.

Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.

Que non exaudi voce incanta, et venefico incanta sapienter.

7

Deus conteret dentes eorum in ore ipsorum; molas leonum confringet Dominus.

God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.

Deo contere dentes de illos in ore ipso; molas de leones Domino confringe.

8

Ad nihilum devenient tamquam aqua decurrens; intendit arcum suum donec infirmentur.

They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.

Ad nihilo deveni sicut aqua decurre; intende arcu suo usque que infirma.

9

Sicut cera quæ fluit auferentur; supercecidit ignis, et non viderunt solem.

Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.

Sicut cera que flue aufer; igni supercecida, et non vide sole.

10

Priusquam intelligerent spinæ vestræ rhamnum, sicut viventes sic in ira absorbet eos.

Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath.

Antequam spinas vestro intellige rhamno, sicut vive sic in ira absorbe illos.

11

Lætabitur justus cum viderit vindictam; manus suas lavabit in sanguine peccatoris.

The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

Laetor iusto cum vide vindicta; manus suo lava in sanguine de peccatore.

12

Et dicet homo: Si utique est fructus justo, utique est Deus judicans eos in terra.

And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.

Et homine dic: si utique fructu iusto es, utique Deo es iudica illos in terra.
